Tribute to Mike Auldridge at the Birchmere
Mike Auldridge may not be a household name, but to fans of bluegrass music, especially in the Washington area, where he lived and frequently performed for nearly half a century, it's as recognizable as RGIII. A master of the Dobro, an acoustic guitar known for its distinctive metallic resonance, Auldridge died in December at the age of 73.
On Tuesday, a platoon of musicians assembled at the Birchmere to celebrate his legacy. Many of them, including members of the Seldom Scene, the legendary progressive bluegrass band that Auldridge co-founded in 1971, had collaborated with Auldridge. All of them were profoundly influenced by him.
